Which means the Green Bay Packers game against the dreaded but not feared Chicago Bears tonight, airing on Fox affiliate WITI-TV (Channel 6), will pre-empt the premiere of "Glee" and the second night of "The X-Factor."

The NFL Network allows stations in each team's market to bid for the rights to carry the game, which would not otherwise be available to Time Warner Cable Subscribers. The cable service does not carry the channel. »Read Full Blog Post

Packers rule any TV ratings, with somewhere between a 50 and 60 share. TV6 will draw tremendous ratings and ad revenue for the game tonight, so it makes perfect sense to move the primetime shows until after the game. Actually, I think Channel 12 does the same thing, when the Packers are on MNF.

You are 100% correct. Packer fans will jack the ratings much higher than Glee will. It is not that Glee fans are more loyal it is that there are far more Packer fans. It is a numbers games with ratings and history speaks for itself. GO PACK!!!

Any 14-year old girl who will be in her room pouting because she can't "Live-Tweet" with the rest of the "Gleek Universe". Not that I like it, but that is the world we now live in.

Even recording it tonight will not avail her viewing until after school tomorrow, and she says she can't live wtihout Twitter for that long and is upset (in advance) that she will be subject to spoilers.

Trying to explain to her that it isn't exactly Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones and that spoilers shouldn't let it ruin her enjoyment... well, that didn't work.

LG, you can watch the The Twilight Zone reruns late at night on WGBADT2, same thing as MSNBC but Rod Sterling doesn't get a tingling up his leg when Obama speaks like Matthews claims. Depends would prevent that.

Funny to see all these comments on here (and from Dudek), ridiculing these superficial shows like Glee and XFactor, when the NFL game is equally as superficial.. a soap-opera for men, essentially. None of these programs, especially the sports game, matter. Here's a novel idea: How about you mouth-breathers read a book for once? Oh, wait.. never mind. That's asking too much.

Typical lefty, knowing what's best for you. People work hard, take care of their families, and decide to relax and enjoy football for 3 hours and are told they should "read a book". BTW, football is a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR industry, hardly a soap opera....

Is Fox planning on rebroadcasting Glee in its entirety in prime time? I managed to see most of the show, having set my DVR to record pretty much all night. But I still missed the very end. C'mon Fox...Glee is one of your highest ranking shows and multitudes of Gleeks were waiting all summer for the season premier. We weren't expecting it to be shown at 2:00 in the morning!
